John Locke was an influential philosopher, political theorist and physician of the 17th century. He was known for his "Social Contract theory" which states that the citizens in the country can stop following or obeying their government if it fails to secure the people's natural rights. His theory supported the state or people, rather than the government.

He also focused on the people's natural rights by saying that the people have the right to overthrow the government, when the need arises. It also means that the government cannot have an absolute control over the people. They have to do their obligations to the citizens, so that the citizens will also do their obligations to the government.
